Leeds United secured a second win in three games since the international break by beating Barnsley 2-0 last weekend.

Goals from Samuel Saiz and Ezgjan Alioski put Leeds firmly back in the hunt for a play-off spot and if they beat Aston Villa tonight, they could go level on points with sixth-placed Derby County.

But Villa are one of the form teams in the division at the moment and will be hopeful of a win of their own, which could send Steve Bruce's side third as they hunt down Wolves and Cardiff City in the automatic promotion slots.

Team news for Leeds United vs Aston Villa

Stuart Dallas and Pierre-Michel Lasogga both remain out through ankle and leg injuries respectively, while Eunan O'Kane has a "possibility" to play, according to manager Thomas Christiansen.

"Stuey and Pierre will be out," Christiansen said ahead of the game.

"He [Dallas] already took that playing the two games with his national team which were okay a bad decision for the future but there's nothing that we can say and do right now, just get him fit as soon as possible."

"I hope so," he added when asked if Dallas would be fit for the QPR game.

Christiansen revealed Lasogga had failed to prove his fitness in time for tonight's game but, again, could be a possibility for the trip to London next Saturday.

"He could have had the possibility," he said.

"He had joined the training individually but next week he will properly join the team."

And on O'Kane, who has a hip injury, Christiansen was a lot more confident he could play some part tonight.
